Halloween––the time of the year when everybody, regardless of their age or social status, comes down to the level of middle school kids. If you are looking forward to playing a prank which can really scare the ‘unspeakable’ out of your guests, then this scary curtain will do the trick. When the lights are turned off, this curtain will glow and the spooky image of a man with glowing red eyes will appear right before your guests' eyes.

Make a cutout image of a man. Use cardboard joined together and have a male friend or family member lie down on the cardboard. Trace around the person, then cut out the image to form the man template that will be used shortly.

Place the full sized cutout of a man’s body on top of the curtain. Make sure that the cutout is placed straight, and does not slant at all. If needed, place some weights on the template to stop if from moving or blowing away (if you're outside). The weights may get sprayed, so only use things you don't mind this happening to, such as rocks, items to be recycled, etc.

Take some more curtains. Spray paint each of these curtains green but do not use the cardboard cutout. Now you have some plain green curtains which will help to make the scary curtain seem even scarier.

Turn off the light. Now you will be able to see that in the dark, all the curtains glow green. The scary curtain with the man's image will give the impression of a shadow with glowing red eyes, waiting behind that curtain.
